New Jersey Truck Accidents

In 2018, 4,136 people were killed in crashes involving large trucks. Of those reported deaths, 67 percent involved those traveling in passenger vehicles. Another 15 percent involved pedestrians and cyclists.

Semi-trucks cause more than their fair share of devastating collisions. The statistics speak for themselves, and the bottom line is that trucks are extremely dangerous. Rig operators are required to make safety a priority, but due to intense pressures on the road, even the most skilled trucker can make a critical error.

If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being injured in a car accident, look no further! Forget all those big billboard lawyers and call this firm immediately. Diane Cordoso handled 2 cases for me... I had the bad luck of being hit more than once in a short period of time.... Diane, Maria, her assistant, and the entire team are compassionate, professional, and are perfect examples of what you need in these situations. They communicate every step of the way and are always on the ball. I sincerely hope to never have to use their services again lol... I've had enough careless drivers hit and injure me thanks... BUT God forbid I'm ever in that horrible situation again, I know who to call. If your attorney isn't getting the job done, call this firm! TODAY!

Great service provided from day 1. I would recommend to all friends and family.

hey hi, it's Keidaï

Really appreciated the thoughtful, proactive, kind, efficient, and respectful interaction during a time of tragedy and shock that I had never experienced before. I called and asked some questions about how they do business, after researching a bit online on what to ask a personal injury lawyer and find a good fit – I strongly advise anyone to do the same and not make a rushed decision. I highly recommend working with the team. I'm very glad I went them in the end – thank you for your help and for standing up for me when I wasn't able to. PS Diane is awesome (:

Not one time was I ever disappointed in the process. The outcome exceeded my expectations. Kathleen and her team are amazing.
